Hi,
how likely is a no-name 100MBit NIC to just work with 3.9 stable?
In my experience, very. Most are using the same chipsets (ie rl) as the
"brand" NICs anyway.
I cant recall ever having a NIC, brand or non-brand, that didnt work.
Agreed.
Whatever chip they use, the manufacturer is usually more interested in
selling product than keeping you from using it outside of the Windows
environment. Thus, we probably have docs, and the driver probably works
pretty well (even if the chip itself is often resoundingly criticized).
Kinda silly how much effort some big-name companies put into making sure
you CAN'T use their product anywhere and everywhere...
